David Goldfield

“a sparkling, sweeping and deeply engaging account of an era when ”government was good”

 

“a heartfelt plea for a revival of

socially responsible leadership.”

“an activist federal government guided the country toward the first real flowering of the American Dream.”

“a pleasure to read”

"This is cheering stuff, a reminder that

America, which was already a great nation,

became a greater nation when

government policies were able to help

release the potential of its citizenry."

"The book recounts a phenomenon

that many Americans have never

experienced and don’t believe is

possible — a government that works."
